It took all of one day for the Republicans to pull out the "nuh-uh, you're the one who does it" card. If this is their strategy for cutting into that women's vote, I hope they bring in some new strategists. Words won't cut it Limbaugh. Actions need to show Republicans on the side of women before you can even hope to begin cutting into that margin. And to do that, they need to distance themselves from the Akins and Murdoucks of the world. We'll see if they have the huevos to do that...

If I could take your pain and frame it, and hang it on my wall,
maybe you would never have to hurt again...

"We've gotta get rid of the immigration issue altogether. It's simple for me to fix it. I think you control the border first, you create a pathway for those people that are here, you don't say you gotta go home. And that is a position that I've evolved on. Because you know what--it just--it's gotta be resolved. The majority of people here--if some people have criminal records you can send' em home--but if people are here, law-abiding, participating, four years, their kids are born here...first secure the border, pathway to citizenship...then it's done. But you can't let the problem continue. It's gotta stop."

Meanwhile, in an interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer, House Majority Leader John Boehner said he is "confident" the two parties can agree to a deal on immigration.

"This issue has been around far too long," Boehner said. "A comprehensive approach is long overdue, and I'm confident that the president, myself, others can find the common ground to take care of this issue once and for all."

Just two years ago, Boehner said it was worth considering amending the U.S. Constitution to end birthright citizenship, because he said it might discourage people from illegally crossing the border.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who supports immigration reform, said on CBS Friday that Republicans had sent "mixed messages" about immigration. "On the immigration issue, which turned out to be very important, and some issues about women too, some mixed messages were sent," she said.

Not trying to hijack your thread Locke, but figured this was along the same line.

Amazing how these issues werent a problem a few days ago. Then, 2 days after the election, our politicians have grown as people and their positions have evolved. Because, you know, their worried about the moral fabric of our nation. Wonder how that happened.

Anyone who hides behind the demonized ACLU when prosecuted for the same types of hard core drug addictions for which he's vilified others, is caught carrying a mislabeled bottle of Viagra returning from the Dominican, a notorious sex trade destination for young boys and/or girls has about as much moral high ground, let alone credibility as Paris Hilton proselytizing on the virtues of abstinence. Nothing to see here other than a predictable replay of Dr Pavlov's salivating doggies to the stimulus of a public mandate.

Now this is them trying to cut into the Hispanic vote. Over/under until the first major Republican says women should have the choice on whether or not to get abortions...?

Yup, I'm totally shocked that Romney got his ass handed to him up and down the country Tuesday. With morons like this voting for him, he had no chance...

Apparently he doesn't realize his candidate's father was born in Mexico because radical Mormons went there to flee the United States and support Mexico in armed conflict against the United States in the 19th century.

Or maybe he doesn't care. Hatchettjack is the type to have ordered up a hundred "The South Will Rise Again" T-shirts with the Romney "R" in "rise", not realizing the company he got them from employs a thousand illegal immigrants at $2.50 an hour.

I honesty think they will go with a Jeb Bush / Marco Rubio ticket... If GW hadn't tarnished the Bush name so badly, he would be a shoe-in. Jeb solves the latino problem for the right, especially with Rubio on the ticket, and could help deliver Florida.
